Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows (around 10 oz)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 tbsps butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Place butter in a large pot, melting slowly over low heat until completely liquefied.
- Add marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring continuously until they transform into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Remove the pot from heat and incorporate vanilla extract for an enhanced flavor profile.
- Gently fold Lucky Charms cereal into the marshmallow mixture, ensuring every piece gets evenly coated.
- Transfer white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring between intervals until completely melted and silky.
- Drizzle the molten white chocolate over the cereal mixture, stirring to create a marbled, glossy texture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread and press it evenly into all corners.
- Allow the treats to set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes until firm and slightly cooled.
- Using a sharp knife, slice into uniform squares for serving.
Notes
- Prevent sticky hands by lightly coating your spatula or hands with cooking spray when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a pinch of sea salt to the melted marshmallow mixture for a sweet-savory contrast.
- Create gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free Lucky Charms or substituting with another gluten-free crispy cereal.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
